Yes, thank you. The waves are a but lost from a distance, but the tower is still quite nice and the podium is top grade.
Here's a proposal that came in today. It replaces a 14 storey brutalist office block in the middle of the CBD with a 26 storey residential tower. Again, not a show stopper, but a clean and modern design. The brutalist podium pays homage to the old office tower that was demolished.
Unit Count: 391
Retail Space: 663 m3
Description: The building has a footprint of 1494m2 and is 25 storeys in height including 391residential units, commercial premises on the ground floor and 102 underground parking spaces.
Among the largest and most dominant towers in the city, is nestled 110 O Connor with its 25 floors on one of the busiest arteries in the city. The concepts articulated in three floating masses and retains the precious brutalist language of the sector with a reinterpretation of historic styles present on its neighboring buildings. The contemporary design of the tower on top preserves the integrity of the architecture without dominating the 6-storeypodium. The transparent tower rises above and is made out of curtain wall so as to be read in second plane. The concept is driven by a desire to harmonize with the brutalist facades in the immediate context. The podium is distinguish by its size and by its grid like facade with a tectonic play in fiber cement.
